das ist doch das Lieblingswort der Bullen-Analysten in den letzten Wochen:
Sanctions are contained on the paper sector, which only accounts for x % of total imports oder so ähnlich.

As a dedicated short-seller, I incorporate some basic tenets and disciplines in my portfolio management.
One of those principles is to avoid hard-to-borrow and heavily shorted stocks.
Yesterday, Dendreon (DNDN) announced that the Food and Drug Administration said its Provenge drug (the first active cellular immunotherapy and the first biologic approved to treat prostate cancer) was safe and that there was "substantial evidence of efficacy."
DNDN has a float of 80 million shares; its average trading volume is about 3 million shares a day. However, short interest totals 20.3 million shares (up nearly 4 million shares from the prior month), or about 25% of the float!
I avoid heavily shorted stocks in which short interest is a large percentage of the float or shares outstanding, such as at Dendreon. To me, high short interest is a nonstarter.
DNDN closed at $5.12 a share on Wednesday (it didn't trade on Thursday) and is currently trading up by over 230% to $17 in the premarket!
DNDN is a classic example of why a short-seller should avoid heavily shorted stocks.
Month-to-date, the S&P 500 index is up by over 1% in March. It is safe to say (barring an extreme event) that March will likely end up positively, which would put 13 out of the last 15 months in positive territory.
Despite this extraordinary (and historically abnormal) run, at the slightest downtick, I sense a lot of angst in the market by hedge fund operators. From my perch, this means that investors (especially the hedge fund -- and fund of fund -- kind) are far more long (or levered) than most surveys reveal.
As I have mentioned previously, I don't put much credence into the various sentiment studies, most of which can be subject to, well, very subjective interpretation. It is my view that, within the context of the investment process, sentiment studies are often simplistic, linear crutches, especially when used in a vacuum.
For example, a lot of the short-interest figures are influenced by structural market changes and the introduction of new securities that require hedges on the other side -- or investors on the other side.
Surveys can also be undependable because they often rely on relatively small samples. I am aware of instances in which the respondents simply didn't tell the truth or the surveys relied on the bias of advisors or letter writers who "teach" but don't "invest."
Finally, many -- inflicted by a bout of affirmational bias -- massage the output to produce a desired outcome (e.g., if you don't like the fact that last week the AAII Bearish percentages have moved to close to a one-year low, change your calculation to a 12-month moving average that doesn't exhibit as much of an extreme reading). You get the picture.
In conclusion, technical analysis plays an important role in the investment mosaic, but making investment conclusions solely by observing squishy sentiment measures can be dangerous to your financial health. I believe there is far too much emphasis on unreliable sentiment voodoo that can be interpreted any which way and often too little emphasis on economic and company fundamentals (which, by the way, are also open to affirmational bias).
And those fundamentals are fading faster than you can say Sanjaya Malakar.
Einen lupenreinen Freihandel gibt es eh nur in den Köpfen einiger Wirtschaftstheoretiker. Die USA sind doch von dem einst propagierten Ideal schon längst abgerückt. Der Staat dort schützt und fördert seine Wirtschaft, auch wenn die Einzelmaßnahmen umstritten sind. Die Stahlindustrie und die Farmer stehen unter seinem besonderen Schutz, bei Medienunternehmen dürfen Ausländer keinen beherrschenden Einfluss gewinnen. Die Betreiber von Hafenanlagen konnten sich vor einiger Zeit Dank einer Intervention des Kongresses eines ausländischen Aufkäufers entledigen. Die Verletzung von Markenrechten und Softwareklau wird den Asiaten von höchster Stelle vorgehalten, für die chinesische Textilindustrie wurden Einfuhrquoten festgelegt. Importe und Exporte sind in den Augen von Demokraten und Republikaner keine Naturgewalten, die gottgegeben hineinfluten und hinausschwappen. Die Handelsströme werden hier eindeutig als Produkte des politischen Willens betrachtet, des eigenen und des der anderen.
US: Handelssanktionen gegen China geplant
Die Ankündigung der US-Regierung, gegen chinesische Firmen im Rahmen ihrer Anti-Subventionsgesetze vorgehen zu wollen, dürfte als erstes zur Einführung von Einfuhrzöllen für Papierimporte aus China führen. Dies gab US-Handelsminister Carlos Gutierrez am Freitag bekannt. Mit der Massnahme sollen US-Papierhersteller vor "unfairen" chinesischen Subventionen geschützt werden, hieß es weiter. Die Höhe der Strafzölle dürfte zwischen 10,9% und 20,4% liegen, betonte Gutierrez. Ökonomen sehen die Handelssanktionen skeptisch, die auch auf andere Branchen wie die Stahl- oder Schuhindustrie angewendet werden könnten, da sie zu einer Inflationsbeschleunigung in den USA führen dürften. Ob das Ziel, das Handelsbilanzdefizit mit China zu senken, hingegen erreicht wird, ist zweifelhaft. (vz/FXdirekt)
